I have just started taking my Latuda in the morning and I feel very lethargic all day long. Does taking this in the evening help with feeling lethargic during the day?

A common side effect of Latuda is drowsiness. So, yes, if you take the Latuda at night you should be less drowsy during the day.

Question: Did your psychiatrist tell you to take the Latuda in divided doses (one tablet in the morning, one tablet in the evening)? If so, call your psychiatrist and let him or her know that the morning dose is making you drowsy during the day.

I take my latuda right after dinner. I enjoy latuda.

Latuda is known to be sedating. It's not as bad as other antipsychotics in terms of the sedation it causes, but it usually puts me to sleep within 1-2 hours of taking it.

Like Moogieotter, I take mine right after dinner. (I eat dinner at like 7 or 8 pm.) Helps me go to bed.
